505thAirborne Posted July 10 Posted July 10 We watched Beverly Hills Cop Axel F over the weekend, personally I loved it. It was funny, exciting, some cool shootout scenes too. The original & new cast members did a great job, it gets a bit goofy here & there but still all in good fun. Kevin Bacon is always a delight! First time in a long time that for 2 hours I was glued to the screen, I didn't feel bored or the urge to look at my phone. Eddie Murphy is a national treasure, and it was awesome seeing him in this role again! Quote

Joe Is that legit, 52 finished episodes.2020 was kinda when all the streaming services mostly just pumped things out. Maybe the show sucked really bad or they figured there’s no interest at all.

Big s Posted July 22 Posted July 22 1 hour ago, Thom said: Shouldn't he get the third one out before he does a Director's Cut? I think we’d be better off if they cut the director. There’s some interesting concepts, but those don’t get flushed out. The pacing is weird and the slo mo gotta go. Quote
Tking22 Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 You know what would make the two Rebel Moon films better? More blood and tits! Said literally nobody ever, these films, characters, and universe were an absolute snooze-fest, some of the most generic, been there done that nonsense I've ever seen, with a runtime padded out by copious overuse of slow-mo. Easy pass, there were some slightly interesting concepts and a few cool shots, but nothing else. Quote

The CGI of the mechs is ok... what's dreadful is the character's animation, especially the lip sync and horrifying non-blinking stare they all have. PS3 looks better. Quote

That went into the deep during the strike, even though apparently, accordingly to Reddit "experts", pre-production was already almost completed (?). Quote

PS3 looks better. Not even the mechs are good, they do not move properly for their size and weight. It looks like video game cutscene physics from quite a while ago. Quote

Yeah, the voice acting sucks pretty bad here. And the cg is rather sub par. I hoped they’d improve it some after the first trailer, but I’ll still probably check it out and see how bad it is. Quote

Thom Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Yeah, I have to say that I have no interest in this Section 31 thing. Give me Star Trek Legacy! Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 28 Posted July 28 (edited) I see the Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max streaming bundle is now available. Looks like we'll sign up for the ad-free bundle soon. We're pretty much done with Prime and Paramount+, latter needs urgent help with their streaming library imho. I read the MAX part of the bundle also doesn't support 4K, only 1080p, so be aware of the fine print. $16.99 with ads $29.99 ad free Edited July 28 by TangledThorns Quote

TangledThorns Posted July 31 Posted July 31 (edited) My wife and I finished PRESUMED INNOCENT on Apple+ last night and its really good! Highly recommended. Fast paced for a legal thriller that held our attention all the way till the end. It'll be interesting to see what the second season brings. On a side note I had some revelations about the cast. It's the first media I've seen with Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard together since the film Jarhead back in 2005. Peter Sarsgaard is married to Jake's sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and both played district attorney's in different Batman films that met similar fates. Being blown up!! 😱 Edited July 31 by TangledThorns Quote
